Chapter 1210
Max looked at Jared, waiting for his order.
"Excuse me?! Did you not hear me?" Fiorella glared at him and yelled.
Jared nodded in defeat, and Max hurried away to get the car ready.
"Mr. Johnston, your aide isn't behaving sensibly at all." Fiorella criticized Max as she watched him leave.
Jared remained silent. After some time, Max drove to the pick-up area in front of Jared and Fiorella.
"Let's go, Mr. Johnston." Max opened the car door and Fiorella walked over.
In the club, Fiorella got someone to serve them a bottle of vintage wine. When the staff had walked out, she was left alone with Jared in this spacious room.
She picked a song and passed Jared the microphone. "Mr. Johnston, I am dedicating this song to you. Can we sing it as a duet?"
"I don't sing well. You can do so on your own," Jared declined.
She could tell that he really did not want to sing, so she sang alone. However, she had still chosen to sit next to him as she did.
Jared scooted over to the side, but she moved closer to him whenever he did so, hell-bent on trying to impress him with her charms while she was singing.
Jared was feeling really uncomfortable in a place as noisy as this, so he ended up suffering a headache after he had sat through the entire song.
"Mr. Johnston, what song would you like to hear? I'll look for it and sing it to you." Fiorella looked at him amorously.
'I rarely listen to music, so I dont think I can recall any," he replied.
"Miss Fisher, now that no one is here, give it to me straight. How long is this project going to last?" Jared looked at Fiorella, unsmiling.
With the tube lights beaming down on Jared's charming visage, Fiorella became enchanted.
"Mr. Johnston, it will take at least 3 years to complete the project. However, I can assure you that we can break even after two years of investment and start raking in profits by the third year," Fiorella responded in kind, as she had never lied to him.
"Honestly, that's a little too long. I can gain more profits from elsewhere within that span of time." Jared said in a straightforward manner.
"I know your projects are all highly profitable, Mr. Johnston. You've invested in The Beacon, didn't you? And you probably haven't profited off it, right? I can guarantee that you'll break even in two years or so, even though it might not be as rewarding as my project," Fiorella said with confidence.
"Just relax and wait for the massive returns." Fiorella smiled at him, her gaze affirmative.
"I'm going to take your word for it, Miss Fisher. If I don't profit by then, I'll pull out." Jared said, only wanting Fiorella to give him a guarantee.
At the same time, he wanted to take precautions as well.
